He’s got a sense of humor when he talks for the Mises Institute in the US nowadays. He said that in Soviet, the only thing people dared comment, of what they read in the lying newspaper Pravda, was the weather forecast. But now in the US, the weather has become the most politically sensitive topic of all!

Mars pretty much looks like a little featureless gibbous blob through my 10″ telescope, at the moment.

It’s too bad we’re going to miss it being a featureless little disc because of a GLOBAL dust storm!

Thank goodness that Pres. Obama is finally going to do something about it! [sarc]

Every drop of common sense is being attempted to be wrung out of the American public by our political leaders and our media.

I really do not like to use the word, there is always something redeeming to be found after a discussion, but this is like I said, stupid, stupid and more stupid!
